The boilerplate in these two trampoline macros is identical except for
the actual instructions, maybe there could be a shared
__ARCH_DEFINE_STATIC_CALL_TRAMP(name, insns) macro which does most of
the dirty work.

The lowercase enums threw me for a loop, I thought they were variables a
few times. Starting a new enum trend? :-)

Clever enum math, but probably more robust to be ignorant of the values:

if (tramp)
__static_call_transform(tramp, func ? jmp : ret, func);

if (IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_HAVE_STATIC_CALL_INLINE) && site)
__static_call_transform(site, func ? call : nop, func);

Missing semicolon, also an updated description/example would be useful.

On that note, what do you think about tweaking the naming from

DEFINE_STATIC_COND_CALL(name, typename);
static_cond_call(name)(args...);

to

DEFINE_STATIC_CALL_NO_FUNC(name, typename);
static_call_if_func(name)(args...);
?

Seems clearer to me. They're still STATIC_CALLs, so it seems logical to
keep those two words together. And NO_FUNC clarifies the initialized
value.

Similarly RETTRAMP could be ARCH_DEFINE_STATIC_CALL_NO_FUNC.
